Psalms 26
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1A Psalm of David. Judge me, O LORD, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.
1Ke ke fakamaau au, ʻE Sihova; he naʻaku ʻeveʻeva ʻi heʻeku angatonu: naʻaku falala foki kia Sihova; ko ia ʻe ʻikai ai te u hekea.
2Examine me, O LORD, and try me; test my reins and my heart.
2ʻAhiʻahiʻi au, ʻe Sihova, ʻo ʻiloʻi au; ʻahiʻahiʻi hoku laumālie mo hoku loto.
3For Thy mercy is before mine eyes; and I have walked in Thy truth.
3He ʻoku ʻi hoku ʻao ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa pea naʻaku ʻeveʻeva ʻi hoʻo moʻoni.
4I have not sat with men of falsehood; neither will I go in with dissemblers.
4Naʻe ʻikai te u nofo mo e kau tangata angakovi, pea ʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu ki loto mo e kau mālualoi.
5I hate the gathering of evil doers, and will not sit with the wicked.
5ʻOku ou fehiʻa ki he fakataha ʻoe kau fai kovi; pea ʻe ʻikai te u nofo mo e kau angahala.
6I will wash my hands in innocency; so will I compass Thine altar, O LORD,
6Te u fanofano hoku nima ʻi he māʻoniʻoni: pea ʻe pehē pe ʻeku kāpui ho ʻesifeilaulau, ʻE Sihova:
7That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all Thy wondrous works.
7Koeʻuhi ke u fakahā ʻaki ʻae leʻo ʻoe fakafetaʻi, pea fakamatala ki hoʻo ngaahi ngāue fakaofo kotoa pē.
8LORD, I love the habitation of Thy house, and the place where Thy glory dwelleth.
8ʻE Sihova, kuo u ʻofa ki he nofoʻanga ʻo ho fale, mo e potu ʻoku nofo ai ʻa hoʻo ʻafio.
9Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood;
9ʻOua naʻa ke fakataha hoku laumālie mo e kau angahala, pe ko ʻeku moʻui mo e kau tangata pani toto:
10In whose hands is craftiness, and their right hand is full of bribes.
10ʻAkinautolu ʻoku ʻi honau nima ʻae pauʻu, pea ʻoku fonu honau nima toʻomataʻu ʻi he ngaahi meʻa fakahē.
11But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity; redeem me, and be gracious unto me.
11Ka ko au, te u ʻeveʻeva ʻi heʻeku angatonu: ke ke huhuʻi au, mo ke ʻaloʻofa kiate au.
12My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
12ʻOku tuʻu hoku vaʻe ʻi he potu tokamālie: ʻi he ngaahi fakataha ʻoe kakai te u fakafetaʻi kia Sihova.
